⏳ How to Create Time-Limited Access for Digital Products


🤔 Why Use Time-Limited Access?

Sometimes you want to create urgency around your content — maybe it's a limited-time webinar replay, an exclusive training, or a bonus module that's only available for a set window after purchase. Time-limited access is a powerful way to drive action and boost conversions! 🚀

You might be wondering: "Can I set content to expire based on watch time or a specific date?" While auto-expiring offers based on watch time aren't currently supported, there's a simple workaround built right into the platform that does the trick — and it only takes a minute to set up.


✅ How It Works: Access Duration + Small Price

Here's the secret: when you set an access duration on a product, the countdown starts the moment someone purchases it.🎯

The buyer gets instant access to your content, and once the access duration expires, they can no longer view it. Simple, effective, and no workarounds needed.

📝 Note:
Access duration only works on paid products.

  • Free products (price = $0) → Access duration does not apply

  • Paid products (price ≥ $1) → Access duration starts after purchase

👉 If you want to limit access time, set the price to at least $1.


🛠️ Step-by-Step Setup

Follow these steps to create a time-limited digital product:

  1. Navigate to your Dashboard and click Products on "My Hub" Page.

  2. Click "+ Add Product" (or edit an existing one).

  3. Upload your content (video, files, modules, or schedule Live) as you normally would.

  4. Scroll down to the Pricing section and set a price.

  5. Find the Access Duration field and set how long buyers should have access — for example, 1 week, 8 week, 5 Years , lifetime , etc.

  6. Hit Save and publish your product! 🎉


💡 Tips & Ideas for Time-Limited Products

Now that you know how to set it up, here are some creative ways to use time-limited access:

  • Webinar replays — Give attendees 48 hours to rewatch, creating urgency to take action on your offer.

  • Bonus content — Reward early buyers with exclusive access that expires after 7 days.

  • Challenge modules — Run a 14-day challenge where each module is only available for the duration.

  • Seasonal promotions — Offer holiday-themed content with a built-in expiry date.

The possibilities are endless! Time-limited access helps you create scarcity, drive faster decisions, and make your offers feel truly exclusive. 🌟

📝 Note:
Once a buyer's access duration expires, they won't be able to view the content anymore. If you want to offer an extension, you can create a new product link or adjust the duration on the existing product for future buyers.
